Features: It is because the myths in Journey to the West are imbued with a touch of humor that enables people to laugh out loud, and this laughter humanizes the myths. We can say that the myths in Journey to the West are myths with a "human touch." Journey to the West has been corrupted by countless Taoists, monks, and scholars over the past three or four hundred years. Taoists say this book is the golden elixir; monks say it is the Zen method; scholars say it is a book of moral cultivation and sincerity. These interpretations are all enemies of Journey to the West.
